I know I’m a teenager and I shouldn’t be reading picture books but this one just caught my attention when my brother brought it home. “The Day the Crayons Quit” is funny, clever and witty. Anybody can easily relate with the interactive photos and letters that Duncan receives from his crayons that are ready to quit. I honestly laughed and felt that this was a really smart book, I never felt like I was reading a children’s book. The interactive “letter” format made it different than just that typical Arial font book. The truth behind the letters was funny and witty and most of all relatable which is why I guess it has become such a hit amongst kids and me alike. All in all I don’t recommend this to just kids but also to anyone just looking for a fun read. Rating 5/5

My toddler and I really enjoyed reading this creative book together (and playing "find the colour" on the second last page). He was very excited at the prospect of a book about "colours" (his word for crayons).
The only drawback is that the yellow crayon's letter is a bit hard to read (and maybe the beige crayon's in low light).

For those of us who love colors and coloring, this book is terrific fun. These crayons have a lot to say and they do a great job expressing their feelings. Good modeling for kids! Be sure to check out the follow-up book "The Day the Crayons Came Home", also a winner. Recommended by Lisa
